Jeremy Clarkson Critiques Lewis Hamilton’s Struggles as Age and Ferrari Move Loom Large

Jeremy Clarkson Critiques Lewis Hamilton’s Struggles as Age and Ferrari Move Loom Large

Lewis Hamilton’s recent qualifying struggles and mid-pack finishes are drawing sharp scrutiny, including some pointed observations from British TV host Jeremy Clarkson. The 39-year-old Mercedes veteran has grappled with inconsistent pace and balance this season, notably finishing P10 under challenging wet conditions at last weekend’s Brazilian Grand Prix.

In classic Clarkson fashion, the former Top Gear and The Grand Tour host didn’t hold back, suggesting that Hamilton may be “past his prime” and implying that age could be a factor in the seven-time champion’s waning speed. Clarkson commented, “He blamed his car for his tail-end qualifying session, but his teammate was on the front row. It’s far more probable that he’s now too old.”

Hamilton’s performance slump comes just ahead of his high-profile move to Ferrari next season—a decision that sent shockwaves through the F1 world. Hamilton hopes the switch to Ferrari will be the key to securing a record-breaking eighth world championship, a prospect that has Ferrari fans eager but some skeptics wondering if he can still perform at the highest level.

Fred Vasseur, Ferrari’s team principal, is bullish about Hamilton’s arrival, stating that the Briton “comes to win, not on holiday.” Vasseur emphasized that Hamilton’s goal is clear: to bring championships back to Maranello. “Ferrari was always in his thoughts, and now the stars have aligned,” Vasseur said. “I’m convinced we have everything to try.”

Hamilton joins a resurgent Ferrari team under Vasseur’s guidance. Although the team hasn’t clinched a constructors’ championship since 2008, the arrival of Hamilton, coupled with strategic enhancements, could be the final ingredients to help Ferrari reclaim F1 glory. With his deep-rooted ambition and Ferrari’s recent growth, Hamilton’s new chapter may indeed offer him one last shot at historic success.
